    French Canadian here

    All of our swear words are Catholic church vocabulary words. As a never Catholic I always find them hilarious when I say them. They can basically be used as stand-ins for words in the same way as we use “fuck” in English or strung together.

    “Saint Ciboire” was my grandmother’s favorite when I would fuck something up.

    baptême [ba.tae̯m]: “baptism”
    câlice [kɑːlɪs] (calice): “chalice”
    ciboire [si.bwɑːʁ]: “ciborium” or “pyx”, receptacles in which the host is stored
    criss [kʁɪs] (Christ): “Christ”, or crisser, a more emphatic version of sacrer, both verbs meaning “to curse”
    esti [əs.t͡si], [ɛs.t͡si] or ostie [ɔs.t͡si] (hostie): “host [cookie]”
    maudit [moːd͡zi] (m) or maudite [moːd͡zit] (f): “damned” (or “damn”)
    sacrament [sa.kʁa.mã] (sacrement): “Sacrament”
    saint [sẽ]: “Saint”, added before others (ex. saint-simonaque, saint-sacrament, etc.)
    simonaque [si.mɔ.nak] (simoniaque): from the sin of simony
    tabarnak [ta.baʁ.nak] (tabernacle): “tabernacle”; typically considered the most profane of the sacres
    viarge [vjaʁʒ] (vierge): “the Virgin Mary”

    Altough it’s more like a “gypsy curse”, but there’s one that translates to sth like “I wish you’ll having ten rings but none fingers”

    Salame

    Yes that’s right, it means salami and in spanish it’s used to call someone an idiot. Soft insult, but I use it, and saying so and so is a salami in english would only get me weird looks.

    Portuguese is full of these, but how about vai pra casa do caralho.

    Which roughly translates to “go to the dick’s home”, basically another way of saying “go fuck yourself”, but even more vulgar somehow.

      I’ve heard ‘caralho’ used to be the name for the lookout on top of a ship’s mast (later turned into yet another word for dick) and sailors were sent to duty on the caralho as punishment?

      I’m not Portuguese though, so if any native could confirm …

      Portuguese here. “Diz que vais cagar e baza”, which translates to “Say you go shit and get outa here”, when someone is not welcome.

        Oh, another one: “deves comer gelados com a testa”, which translates to “you must eat icecream with your forehead”, a not so soft way to call someone stoopid

        Brazil “eu caguei e andei” (I shat and walked). Functionally equivalent to “I don’t give a shit” but in Portuguese one actually shits but doesn’t care to wipe and walks away or walks at the same as is shitting.

    German: “Du Lappen”

    Translates to “You rag”, pretty much calling someone a loser or idiot.

    Brazilian portuguese tends to lack impactful phrases, but is full of single curse words. A big portion of them a clear example of how much negative bias there is culturally against certain groups (gay men, women in general, disabled), unfortunately :/

    One that isn’t often used, but that I almost always laugh loud whenever I hear, is “Enfia uma dentadura no cu e sorria pro caralho”, which roughly translates into “Stick a denture up your asshole and smile at the dick”. For when simply saying “go fuck yourself” isn’t enough.

    “Ge zijt a foorwijf”

    You are a fair bitch. People working the carnival / fair scene don’t have the best of reputation. In Belgium we had a song about this phenomenon and the real fair people were all kinds of angry about the stereotype. The thing is about stereotypes: it really has a base in reality.

    That’s not exact:

    • Me cago en tus muertos = I shit on your ancestors / I shit on your dead relatives.
    • Me cago en todos tus muertos = I shit on all of your ancestors / I shit on all of your dead relatives.

    And in the theme of insults from Spain, a loaded one is also: Me cago en tu puta madre = I shit on your fucking mother / I shit on your whore mother

    See, the thing with “puta/puto” is that it literally means “whore”, but it’s used to empathize cursings just like “fucking” is used in english. We’re even misusing it by putting it before verbs, imitating it’s use in english.
